His head is a little more narrow than a sphodromantis.

I cannot see much of a difference LOL! In all of the pictures his abdomen is not curled like an L4 Sphodromantis nymph.

Stagmomantis californica

Stagmomantis californica do not have white dots like this one right? I do not know but I have seen none like that.

I think it is asain,got them from mantisplace as well,and seem to look pretty close,my male the one i have tons of pics of,was really purple like that,but I did confuse them with sphondos until they got their red dots on the chest,think i have giant asians and not multispinas tho

 

[OctoberRainne]

P.S on the not letting it show big pics,I just size them down in paint,which most comps have for free,that should help. just load a full size pic and hit resize and type in 50% to make it half the size or another number til its small enough,if that helps,I dont know if you've done that already or not. I know it won't show mine in forums if they are not but only 25% off camera size

Lol that's horribly misidentified. The link you posted goes to a European mantis. Mantis religiosa, not Stagmomantis californica.

Yes, that is a European Mantis.

The picture I showed was not a Hierodula membranacea you know? I am not certain if that was a Hierodula multispina but I cannot think of another mantis that looks similar to that and it does look just like a Hierodula multispina.
